Time to stand and be counted!

I am a die-hard Indians fan myself from way, way back. I used to go to the games when I was a kid. That was at the old Cleveland Municipal Stadium. That place was a dump, but you could get a ticket on game day for pretty dog-gone cheap. And you could even afford to park. You could sit with 2,000 or so other people who refused to give up hope that one day they could compete with the Yankees, etc. I was also a Big Red Machine fan (that is the Cincinatti Reds teams of the early seventies for those of you too young for that) and therefore still root for them. My other favorite team is whoever is playing the Yankees that day.
 
The Tribe. I use to love Brook Jacoby and Cory Snyder. I did not even care that they were never in contention. You could buy a ticket, pay to park and get a hotdog and a soda for $5 less than what it cost to park now.

racerx...Oh yeah, you are right about that pricing structure. Do you go back far enough to remember the killer double-play combo of Jerry Dybzinski and Duane Kuiper? Kuiper hit a total of one career home run. Jerry D hit around .200 for his career but still managed to hit well whenever my sister was there. How about when Joe Charboneau was going to be the next Hank Aaron?

Can't say that I remember them. What years did they play for the beloved Tribe? I do however remember the great catching dual of Andy Allison and Joel Skinner. That is about when I started going to watch the tribe. I think that was about 1985.
 
Braves fan every since the day they moved to Atlanta,

Cheapest ticket I recall? There was time shortly after Ted Turner bought the team when the team was bad, real bad. Anyways, the deal was ya bought a ticket, if the team did not win, that ticket was good from that day until they did............Think I once went to about 10 games on one ticket! :rolleyes:
 
I just started to watch Baseball so I root for whoever is losing the game at the time I turned the game on! :D
 
since they don't have a lot of support anywhere, i have to say GO MARLINS!!! i've loved them since they came into the league! i've got like 6 hats, each one older and sweatier than the next! :lol: :bounce:

They played for the Tribe from the mid-seventies to like 1981 or so. I just checked and I was right about Diane Kuiper. He had 3379 lifetime at-bats and hit just that one homer. This was during the hideous red-jersey years. And yes, I remember Andy Allanson well. He was even uglier than Greg Biffle is.

Not much into baseball. But when I do watch. It's Cardinals or Braves.
 
Born and raised near Boston when THE RED SOX and BRAVES shared Fenway Park. Now live in the Atlanta area and the Braves RULE!
